Anne Fortier
Who is more amateurish, more vulnerable---those who rely on machines that need to be plugged in, or logged on, or in some other way connected in order to be more than a useless slab of plastic ... or those who have learned to master life without?
Anne Fortier
Everything we say is a story. But nothing we say is just a story.
Anne Fortier
...had always taken for granted that the whole world was in a state of constantly fluctuating madness, and that a neurosis was not an illness, but a fact of life, like pimples.
Anne Fortier
When the old men fight, the young people die.
Anne Fortier
I think Shakespeare is everybody's treasure.
Anne Fortier
Perhaps. But the firstborn of hope is tragedy.
Anne Fortier
Only weak men want women to be weak.
Anne Fortier
